MAGA flunked history class

**dictator -**a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained control by force, personal power not responsible to law or government.

Honest to God how stupid are these people it’s like pretty much the formula of how a dictator works

They’ve been so conditioned to equate “large government” with “evil thing that restricts freedom.” They can’t even articulate why or how it’s just one of those “common sense” ideas they have that is based only on group think and gut feel.

Fuck mike lee

Yurp

Mike Lee is a purely evil man who knows better. He is well educated, having both an undergraduate degree and a law degree from Brigham Young University.

And he was a law clerk for Sam Alito, twice — once Guito was on a court of appeals and later once Alito became a Supreme Court justice.

Perhaps that is where Lee lost his way. Alito is corrupt and recently wrote an incredulous and legally flat wrong dissent indicating that Donald Trump should have dictatorial powers.

It is tragic that there are educated people like Lee, Sam Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and others who are willing to destroy our 250 year-old democracy and anoint an incompetent New York con man and apparent Russian asset as king.

But it is important to know that just because Trump loves “the uneducated” and a that lot of low information, uneducated voters put him in office, there are fellow travelers in high places, like Mike Lee in the Senate and Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch at the Supreme Court, who are working hard to destroy our way of life, our democracy, and the principles upon which the nation was founded.

We must organize and vote them out. Everyone should work hard to make sure that all of their friends, their family, even their worthless cousin playing video games in his parents’ basement, get out to vote and vote every Republican out of every office, every time. It is the only way we have a prayer of saving our country

I’ve been seeing this SO often.

Time and time again “How is smaller government fascist?? LMAO LIBS”

Literally by definition, fascism is small, centralized government where one small group or person holds the power.

The only people dumber than Mike Lee are the morons who vote for him.

I feel like this has to be rhetorical or ironic. I know Trump’s supporters aren’t particularly intelligent but this is like negative IQ if it’s unironic.

Eh, no? All of those went into power to *expand* the power of the state to guarantee the profit margins of the capitalists, just like Trump is doing. Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Fascist Chile were actually quite bloated.

The most effective way to become a dictator in a democracy is to get rid of the safe guards and checks imposed by different branches. You know. Reducing the size of the government.

Don’t forget big proponents of gun control

Every single one invested more power in the executive.

Yes. They are.
